The 62 acre Senator Hanna Gold Group, starts at the bottom of this picture. It is 1500 feet wide and goes up to the notch 1800 feet on the left and the right (a 1500 feet bt 1800 feet cuadrangle). This is the future gold and silver project of The Silverton Gold Mining Company, 1/2 mile from The famed and richly productive Sunnyside Mine and 1/4 mile from The American Tunnel and the Upper Gold King Mine. Those white spots far in the background are sheep on the summer landscaping and grass cutting crew.
GOLD MINING PROJECT................................................................
The last 10 years I have spent acquiring these two properties, discussed within this website, as well as some other patented and unpatented mining claims containing Iridium, Platinum and Gold, as well as other minerals, including rare earth metals, lead zinc and copper. These properties are owned by "Silverton Gold L.L.C.," which consists of 1000 units and of which entity I am sole owner and manager. In March of 2010 "Silverton Gold L.L.C." acquired 62 acres of very rich gold reserves so I am very much open to accepting investors at this time to commence the process leading to mining the gold. The Gold King Mine tunnel is about a 1/4 mile from my claims. In the last part of the 19th and the early part of the 20th century they mined 345,000 ounces of gold in that mine.
In 2008 Colorado Goldfields performed exploratory drilling and they project that there are reserves of 406,000 ounces of gold and 3.7 million ounces of silver left to be mined in their 170 acres of The Gold King property. Colorado Goldfields no longer owns that property. It is now owned by a Mr. Todd Hennis or entities with whom he is associated. My 62 acres (The Senator Hanna Group), pictured above and below, are 1/4 mile from those 406,000 ounces of gold reserves, which are within the confines of The Upper Gold King Mine, the reserves are within "Bonita Fault." Bonita Peak and the fault with these reserves runs through or within 200 feet of my property.........Based on all of that, the geology, the mineralization, the proximity of my claims, I estimate that CONSERVATIVELY, AT A MINIMUM, I have 100,000 ounces of gold to be mined at today's price of that rare metal. Historically, in this area of mining in the San Juan Mountains, 20 ounces per ton of silver was not uncommon. With an average of lower grade gold ore, 1/10 ounce per ton, plus 20 ounces of silver per ton consider this: $2,000 per ounce for gold and $30 per ounce for silver. 100,000 ounces of gold times 10 for the number of tons (per gold ounce) to mine that quantity of gold, times 20 for the number of ounces of Silver per ton would equal $600,000,000 for the Silver and $200,000,000 for the gold. (At $5,000 per ounce gold and $300 per ounce silver that would be $6.5 billion-QE3, 4, 5, QEternity will not happen but will maybe go-down the road to hyperinflation?). The amount of investment I would need to begin development of this property would be far less than the above projected profit, which could/would be realized over the next 20 years........ Again, I would consider selling some units of "Silverton Gold L.L.C." to the right party. That 62 acre gold property is pictured below.......................None of the properties or projects offered for sale or partnership on this website were the product of inheritance. They were all the fruit of my own ingenuity, effort and vision. This property is for sale outright for 7 million dollars. To get an idea of what is going on in the Silverton area with its steady "rebirth of mining" look to a recent article about the mining of silver in the area:
I am seeking qualified investors, of good repute, for this rich Gold-Silver-Precious metals property acquired by my company, "Silverton Gold L.L.C.," in 2010. It is surrounded by historical mining operations a 1/4 mile away (The Upper Gold King Mine) that have actually mined in the past century and also have proven current reserves, combined (of gold already mined and reserves) in excess of 700,000 ounces of gold. The first thing I need to do is to construct a road to where the gold is visually locatable in the form of outcroppings of gold ore. Conservatively, I think I have a minimum of 100,000 ounces of Gold and 20,000,000 ounces of Silver without, as yet, having drilled to determine the actual reserves. $300,000 is what is needed to build the road (across private land with an existing easement). I have spoken with the County Administrator and the County Planner and was/am assured that a permit for the road and structures to house mining personnel and equipmentat the end of the road will not be a problem. The investor with this initial and critical amount of capital will acquire 12 percent of the company. Each unit/share of outstanding company units is equivalent to .001 percent of the company with a total of 1000 units/shares. One of these shares, individually, is $5,000 and when redeemed in the future, according the Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement, for the share value, will be payable in gold, silver or currency. My company is a closely held, private company and the shares (units) are not for sale on any stock exchanges, or publicly or specifically offered, for various reasons. This information does not constitute a "public offering" and "Silverton Gold L.L.C." is not a publicly traded company. I am making available limited information for the interest of private discussions to ensue at the volition of individuals themselves between parties who may have an interest in such an investment opportunity wherein there is SUBSTANTIAL RISK involved but wherein there is also very substantial potential reward for investment involved. Another company of mine, "IPG 789 L.L.C.," is acquiring properties in Uranium and Rare Earth metals..............
The Photos below are taken of the 62 acres of The Senator Hanna Group of Patented Gold and Silver Claims. Up towards the top, center ("the notch"), is where the proposed road will go and end. There, at the notch, is where the mining shaft will be sunk or driven and the structures to house mining personnel and equipment will be constructed. Photo # 1................

Photo # 2.......................This is the notch, the future site of the mine entrance, housing, buildings for equipment. "Chief Inspector Hound" is sniffing the area and giving the site its first inspection for suitability....................

A great many excellent and varied specimens of minerals and gold ore from the nearby Sunnyside Mine (photos 5 and 6), pictured above, can be viewed from accessing the web link below.............

The Upper Gold King and The Sunnyside Mines, as I have described, are to the North/NorthEast and NorthWest, nearby. The former Minnehaha Mine and the former Blackhawk Mine are to the South/SouthWest of the Senator Hanna Gold Group. Most of the Senator Hanna Gold group property is in the Minnehaha Basin (photo at top of this page), except for the notch at the top of the basin. These two last named mines are about 1/4 and 1/2 mile, respectively, from the above described property on this entire page, property which is owned by The Silverton Gold Mining Company................The Senator Hanna Gold Group...............................................................................................
